However, some Xiaxia was quite clueless and narcissistic, saying, "I think it looks pretty good too."
While speaking, she picked up another wider ring from the box and said, "Here, let me put one on for you. You’re quite romantic, even knowing to get one for yourself too."
She took another look at the ring in her hand, and noticed, "Huh, there are words inside?" She held the ring a bit higher and barely saw a ’Xia’ character inside. "Brother An, what’s written inside?"
Ye Zi’an became a little embarrassed upon hearing this.
"What does it say?" Yang Chuxia asked again, especially after seeing Ye Zi’an’s bashful expression, she became even more curious about what was engraved inside.
Ye Zi’an finally whispered, "Love is set in summer."
"Oh," Yang Chuxia first nodded, but then suddenly realized the meaning and her eyes lit up, "Love is set in summer? I like these words. What about mine? There must be words inside too, what does it say?"
"Heart is pleased with peace."
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. It is indeed a matching pair." Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia’s smile grew even wider, and she put the ring on Ye Zi’an as well.
However, as she looked at Ye Zi’an’s slender fingers, she suddenly found herself impulsively kissing them. Instantly, an electric current spread throughout Ye Zi’an’s body, causing his cheeks to turn red.
Of course, he didn’t know about the concept of electricity, nor did he know that it should have been him who initiated that action.
"Look at you, why do you blush at the slightest thing?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an laughed shyly, causing Yang Chuxia’s eyes to sparkle even more.
Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an’s marriage was set on the twelfth day of the first month. A few days later, during the Lantern Festival, the town was indeed decorated with various lanterns as Ye Zi’an had said. During the day, she saw that the merchants had already hung their lanterns, but she didn’t look closely. Instead, she went straight to the broker to find Broker Liu.
After leaving the broker’s shop, she went straight home and didn’t come out to see the so-called lanterns at night.
She wasn’t interested in these things. Instead, she was more interested in making money.
Originally, she planned to have Land Officer Yang gather people from the village to collect pine nuts after the Lantern Festival.
Unfortunately, it rained right after the Lantern Festival. This strange world was quite peculiar. The south should have been humid and rainy, but during the time she had been here, there had only been quite a bit of rain in the summer. After that, it was mostly sunny with occasional drizzles.
This heavy rain was rare. But once the rain stopped, they had to immediately go up the mountain to pick pine cones. If it rained again later, the pine cones might be ruined.
Speaking of the strange aspects of this world, another one was the pine cones mentioned before. These were cones from the red pine trees, which usually grew in the north. In her original world, these trees were mainly found in the northeast, in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and then Japan, Korea, and Russia.
However, in this world, they were in the geographical south, yet red pine trees grew here. Moreover, it wasn’t just one tree; nearly the entire mountain was covered by these red pines. It was truly odd.
Thinking of the differences in this world and the strangeness of the mountain, Yang Chuxia was eager to go up into the mountains quickly.
Since she hadn’t found the nanxing that day, she had always wanted to go back into the mountains to have a look.
Unfortunately, the rain this time lasted longer than before, continuing for four or five days before stopping.
After two days of sunny weather, Yang Chuxia, carrying a bamboo basket on her back, went up the mountain, accompanied by Ye Zi’an and Uncle Cai.
